odd....when i click all squares without changing colors manually, the colors somehow change and the blocks are always correct.

The 50x50 puzzle is in fact not solvable by logic alone. There is an ambiguous area where the 9th and 10th rows intersect the 18th, 19th, 21st and 22nd columns. There are 2 possibilities there that both fit the numbers perfectly, but only one counts as the right solution, so you have to either figure out the answer intuitively based on what looks right, or just guess.

I relly like that - used to do loads in printed version. The game has some major annoying flaws.
Sometimes the numbers do not fade away even if the box has been coloured (and both sides have been crossed out) - which made me make mistakes. It would be useful to have a possibility of fullscreen as numbers were illigible on top of the coloured boxes, or dissapeared in the row wasnt highlighted - again without that clarity I made annoying mistakes.
And the last thing- badges would add great value to the fun.
I like that game, hope the next version will be improved :)

It took me a year to find the little thing at the bottom left corner that let's you play out a solution and have the option to discard everything you just did if it doesn't work. That would have been nice to know....

Needs a full screen option, bit of a pain to squint at the numbers in full view on the big ones. My nrain can't handle zooming in! lol. Otherwise a really nice version of nonograms. Cheers.

sometimes the game indicates the numbers wrong...... the 'clockwork gizmo' took me 1:32:50, cuz i had to guess where had i left 1 square unmarked.... n then turned out that it was marked in fact, n when it was finished, it turned black again. And it was NOT the first time, 'sunflower' does the same. Still, its a good game, altough it would need some revision.

I believe that the last puzzle DOES, in fact, have two answers. The gryphon's back ear can have the two components of it switched (i.e. BBBXX;XXBBB or XXBBB;BBBXX, where B is a black square, X is an empty square and ; is the line break for the subsection to which I am referring). Can anyone inform me of why I am wrong, if I am wrong?

I just realized that there are articles on the paper on the title and options screen. It's actually interesting. Fascinating how much atmosphere you can create with just a few well-chosen words.

Great little puzzle game, love the mechanics. My only issue with it is the colors - I'm not color-blind and I have trouble telling the difference sometimes, between purple and brown especially. Other than that, it's a lot of fun.

really like this, classy take on picross. wish there was support for right-click instead of shift-click, also in master levels the numbers are irritating.

@romulusnr: Just do it in the mode that doesn't penalize you. That's what I do for exactly that reason (plus that I don't want hints.)

This really only becomes a problem in the Master set, but there are just some puzzles that are impossible to solve because of those stupid numbers that keep getting in your way.

@szczor if all methods fail you need to use contradictions to tell you what isn't in order to tell you what is, thus all puzzles (emphasis) are solvable in this matter, essentially logically and without hints. Therefore, your statement, which is a garbled mess, is flat-out wrong.

I keep coming back to this game every day despite me not enjoying puzzle games. Its by far the best one on kong. 5/5, a rare perfect game.

The Default "show next to none of the numbers" format desperately needs an overhaul - otherwise it's a fine game. First rule of screen real estate: Interface interface interface! :)

OMG I'm completely addicted to this game! Just spent hours playing already and I'm still not done. I want to finish this so I can play #2.

I really don't like that for the largest puzzles, you can't see the whole puzzle even when you're zoomed out as much as possible. All that wasted space should go into making the actual play area bigger. The impaired gameplay from this drops my rating to 4/5. Great game, bad design.

Okay, I liked Picma Squared because ultimately I didn't have to make guesses if I paid enough attention... so either I'm really missing something or that's a big flaw this game has in comparison to Picma Squared...

I noticed a little bug concerning the copper, silver, and gold medals. If you successfully complete a puzzle, you only get one of them, therein lies the problem. Say, for example, you got a gold medal on a puzzle. Since gold is a better medal than silver and copper, you should automatically get all three, but instead only get a gold one. It doesn't detract from the game experience in any way, but it slightly irks someone like me who is a bit nit-picky when it comes to details.

The only thing that could make this better would be a colour blind mode/slightly different colour scheme - as it is I find it almost impossible to tell the difference between the 2 reddish colours

absolutely love this game, and i was so happy to find it after playing one just like it on my kindle!!! the colors are a great twist of the one i have. just one suggestion though, a way to fill in all the squares in a row or the ones left needing to be crossed out would be extremely helpful and make clicking each square individually much less tedious!! definitely one of my fav games 5/5

rate this up if you think that kongregate needs to stop advertising sacred seasons 2 and gunbot under recommended games.

xD for the longest time i thought +1 or +5 was a good thing but it means +1 minutes or +5 minutes to your time. Thats the penalty for trying to colour in an empty space or mark a space empty that should be coloured. Anyways, 5/5 :)

WooHoo! My timer on an apprentice puzzle says it took me 1 hour to complete, it lies, I only spent 2 minutes on that, silly game, I only wanted to get the maximum score, so I tried collecting the +1's

I hate the levels where it doesn't show all of the numbers until you scroll your mouse over that particular row. Not only can you not see the entire puzzle at once, the numbers are hard to see over the grid if you have that part colored in. 4/5 because of this

I cannot imagine ever doing this the "traditional" way, without the auto-correct setting... I wonder how people back in the day solve this puzzle???
